VR - Quest 3, v76+, Connectivity

deleteduser · Apr 30, 2025

Meta forced an update to v76 firmware (and Android 14) that seems to have destroyed network connectivity.

Reports on Meta forums of an internet bandwidth cap while used as a standalone device
and using Meta Link via cable, I have been forced to use a USB2.0 port, along with a USB-C to USB-A adaptor, to get anything approaching communication at all.

5Gb/s, to <350Mb/s... sighs

This is after a complete removal & reinstallation of Oculus/Meta/Facebook software on the PC and several Factory resets of the headset
Not sure if that's enough to game in VR, but I'll give it a go after I've had a gander at the Panther.

I don't connect via Meta Link so can't comment on this potential issue.
But I have no problems connecting to the headset with WiFi and Virtual Desktop to access the game.

I use a (dedicated to headset only) 5GHz WiFi connection and get 1200Mbps.
According to the VD Performance overlay in game is 200Mbps
I set the headset frame rate to 90 fps

My wifi is a tangle of administered routers and servers on top of the domestic broadband. I can get 350Mbps @ 120fps on USB2.0 and as bad as that is in comparison to "Super Speed" USB-C 3.x, it's better than the alternatives.
